Allegedly Racist President pardons Black man.

President Trump on Thursday pardoned the late heavyweight boxer Jack Johnson, who was convicted in the early 1900s of transporting a woman across state lines.

Trump said at a ceremony in the Oval Office on Thursday that Johnson is “very worthy” of a full pardon.

“I am taking this very righteous step, I believe, to correct a wrong that occurred in our history, and to honor a truly legendary boxing champion, legendary athlete and a person that, when people got to know him, they really liked him and they really thought he was treated unfairly,” Trump said.

Actor Sylvester Stallone, who advocated for Johnson's pardon, joined Trump for the announcement. Other past heavyweight champions, including Lennox Lewis and Deontay Wilder, also attended the event.
